The artwork, created in 2010 by Billy Childish, is an untitled piece belonging to the expressionism art movement and falls under the figurative genre.
The artwork portrays a skeletal figure wielding a scythe, which is suggestive of the Grim Reaper, a symbolic representation of death. Executed in rich, deep hues of red, the skeletal form is defined with bold, starkly contrasting white lines. The ominous figure is set against a background with abstract linear elements, further contributing to a sense of foreboding and unease. This work captures the raw emotional intensity characteristic of expressionism, simultaneously evoking a sense of mortality and existential contemplation.
